Why did Kawasaki discontinue the Drifter?

Question:
When Indian Motorcycles went out of business (again) you'd think the demand for Indian clones would go up, but then Kawasaki goes and discontinues their drifter line of bikes right when they would have started selling more. What's up with that? Now people who want an Indian (or a clone) are out of luck unless we want to pay a fortune for a used one.

Suzuki GS500F fairing mod?

Usually the answer to a question like this is that the manufacturer wasn't making a profit. I'm not very biased, I like most all bikes, but not a cruiser kind of guy. From the outside looking in, it seems that MOST if not ALL attempts by overseas companies to break in to the cruiser market aren't very well received. Americans generally want that HOG and laugh at foriegn attempts. So it probably didn't sell well enough to justify producing it any longer, even though it was rated as a good machine.
